« Carnival Series », Jaime Hayon
Famous Spanish designer Jaime Hayon created a new collection of mirrors for Gallery kreo called « Carnival series ». In the lineage of his work, full of humor, he finds his inspiration in a series of animals to create sophisticated pieces. He carved the forms of these mythical characters using the finest Venitian traditional techniques.

« Elephant », Mathieu Peyroulet
Galerie Kreo presents Mathieu Peyroulet's "Elephant" mirror for the first time. A piece with which he won the Design Parade Award at Villa Noailles. This luminescent mirror recalls the illuminated mirrors of theatre dressing rooms. A neon light and a steel structure support a great mirror with monumental dimensions.

« Aoyama », Studio Wieki Somers
Currently shown at the Boijmans Museum of Rotterdam, the "Aoyama" lamp is composed of a brass stem and a lampshade made out of japanese paper, directly inspired from the asian culture. The fishing weights, located at the bottom of the stem, symbolically recreate the natural curb that a flower would induce to its own stem.

« Golden Gate », Nanda Vigo
Created in 1970, the « Golden Gate » lamp received the New york Industrial Award. It's minimal desgin, and the use of halogen lights - new source of lighting at the time - make it an important piece of the 70's and Nada Vigo's work.
